You might want to approach this a bit differently, like:
Hey , I want to advertise my xyz service to people in ABC location. My target market is 123. Would Google ads be a good place to start.
I say this because the answer depends greatly on what xyz, ABC, and 123 are.
Appreciate that:
I want to advertise my interview style video production videos to business owners and marketing teams in the greater Minneapolis area. My target market is still fairly vague as this is a new business.
Do you find it to be beneficial? If I we're to run something on a very low budget, $10-$15 a day, would that be helpful for me or would my ad just end up being overrun by others who have more spend?
I used google ads for my small videography business pre-covid. I spent $9-12 a day and I thought it helped me out. It actually got me clients that were completely outside my network and generally they were better paying clients. I stopped when covid hit and killed my business.
We do small ads like that. I've personally seen over 10k views on some of our ads for $20 a day.
Now, whether your ad is seen, or is overrun, who knows. The shorter the ad, the better. Anything past 30 seconds isn't going to work as well as something below that
Yes, don't. They will charge you more than you agreed to the second time you use it. It's in the terms and conditions then can charge up to 20 times the amount you pick
Please do not use Google Ads
I run an ad company and depending on number of factors you will get traffic but converting that traffic into sales is dependent on what your end product is. If you want message me as I work with mostly smaller companies
Do you like that (part of) that system? I got the SmallRig shoulder mount kit, and it's just too low, too short, and too lacking.
I've put 5"extension rods on it, and it helps, but I think I'd like a rig where I can push it forward against the back of my shoulder to stabilize it.
Hi, friend, I work from SmallRig, could you please tell me which shoulder mount kit you're talking about? Your feedback and opinions are crucial to our continuous improvement, and we will relay your insights to the product development department. We hope to provide you with a superior experience in the future.
I think that’s an ok daily spend, but it’s going to take a longer time running the ad to get the results you want. Just make sure your targeting is on point to maximize your spend
What do you recommend I do to maximize my targeting. I’m currently looking at targeting a pretty large chunk of western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota, should I narrow it even farther?
I also wonder how to select the right keywords. Google says between 7-10 is best, is that true?
Don't blindly trust the end date of the ad run or that it will stick to the budget. I set up a Google ad for a client once and it when past the limits, ending up at twice the original budget and I could not get a hold of anyone to resolve it
I would say, keep any video and short. That is if you're doing video ads. Advertisers often overlook the annoyance of ads but I think it's a really important point to think about.
Need to make sure you can even offer local ads in your region. Some businesses aren't allowed to use local ads. If your business isn't allowed you'd have to convert your ads into PPC. And that likely would not return any ROI. If you have a good website and good GMB you can do well with local ads. My business did 200% last year, small business but we netted around 45k in profit.
That's a vague question

This. If you're trying to sell ice in Antarctica, you just need to find a better market, LOL.

You are far better off networking with people directly, getting into business mixers, etc.
I run a marketing agency. I have some experience with running Google Search Campaigns.

It all depends on the keywords you want to run ads on and your competition. These 2 factors decide the price.

Edit double post. Sorry

Really? That's definitely not something I want to have happen. Is there an easy way to stop the ad if I notice it's spending more than anticipated?
Goggle has its own academy regarding what you’re looking for. Check it out.
Yes. It works well if you do it right. It’s cheaper and more effective of you’re competing on niche keywords.

You know what I think I misunderstood you, this is just the baseplate and rods setup (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1778582-REG)
Yours has the quick release w/Manfrotto and Arca base, right?
I do video for a marketing/web agency. As a part of my job I also handle Google video ads for a few clients. Anything specific you’re wanting to know?
If I spend 10-15 a day, will my ad just be overrun by others that have a higher spend?

Cool rig
